Getting back to our regular routine...

....I promise!

*pht*

Well today's workout sucked. Probably because it just didn't happen...but that's okay...tomorrow's another day....today was just...ummm "womanly".

Working out.....

.....again.

*sigh* it always seems to be a struggle to keep to a "regular" routine of working out. My second last excuse was the trip to Boston and then it was because my uncle was here...I mean surely...how could I leave for an hour and a half each day to work out, while he waits to be entertained. No....it was just an excuse.

Well I'm back at it again and so far enjoying it. I think it had something to do with the fact that I went back to the gym, 5 lbs lighter. *ahem*...yup...due purely because I've been very good about what I've been putting down my throat. It does motivate you.

Today was "day two" of hopefully, a 6 day workout week. I did a 30 minute cardio on the treadmill with a total of 14 minutes of running time. Then ab work and exercises my physiotherapist gave me to strengthen my quads. Today was a 20 minute "stair climber" workout with upper body on the machines. A little sore, but feeling great!

Leg workout

I was feeling especially "strong" yesterday and went for a full blown leg workout. Let's just say my legs are in incredible pain today...it's all good but....why do I do this to myself?! I really need to remember that I'm not 25 anymore.

Death swarmed over

Well I made it back to the gym after the "bug of death" hit me....yesterday was tough and I only managed a 25 minute cardio on the bike. Way too weak to go any further and didn't want to push it as "light headedness" was hitting me, big time.

Today was a full on workout. 25 minute cardio on the eliptical, ab work out and then an upper arm body workout. Felt good, felt strong...yay!

Tomorrow I'm going to try and get in for a good cardio, but that's about it...Saturday will be a full blown workout again.

Combined with the stomach thing and the booze thing....I lost 3 pounds...yay!

Back on the wagon

I took a few days off....damn it's so fricken easy to do that. I've given myself a new challenge...Tony's been working out 5/7 days and has completely laid off the booze/(wine and beer). I have myself a goal and...now that I'm not bleeding to death...yeah, I know....tmi....but seriously, it's getting worse...I'm back 5 - 6 days a week. I have something to accomplish before I head off to Boston and there's no way in Hell that I'm going to let the hubs win on this one! ;o)

Another stab at it

I took it really, really easy on my legs for about 4 days and was feeling pretty much able to handle a slightly more intense workout. So I did climb back on the treadmill for 30 minutes and did very short, very light run spurts. So far the knee seems to be holding up....I think it's a matter of strengthening my quads to help hold the knee strong.
